Looks like LAX might be gone. But this one is only $10 more, with lots of dates possible:
Sample: Wed 16 Nov https://goo.gl/flights/FCih
UA:$238 BWI-SFO-LAS-SFO-BWI 5914PQM (w/ 500mi min) 4.02cpm
UA:$238 BWI-EWR-LAS-SFO-BWI 5684PQM (w/ 500mi min) 4.18cpm
For less miles, I see this on one day only:
Tue 1 Nov https://goo.gl/flights/hdN7
UA:$104 BWI-EWR-DFW-ORD-BWI 3295PQM (w/ 500mi min) 3.13cpm
Sample: Wed 16 Nov https://goo.gl/flights/FCih

UA:$298 BWI-POS 8924PQM 3.34cpm
I'm resurrecting this thread...for those of us in the WAS area. 
UA:$298 BWI-POS 8924PQM 3.34cpm
Tue 23 Jan BWI-EWR-IAH-POS-IAH-EWR-BWI
https://goo.gl/flights/1Cmb
Similar routing/dates also possible on a few other dates, including Sat 27. A good use of any leftover RPUs.
Good luck!

Interested in visiting Hangzhou/Shanghai/Beijing for $329
Depart from BWI and possibly end at BWI unless you really want to visit Toronto after a long trip in China. You will need a visa for this trip because Visa on arrival can only be valid for a one city (or nearby region; HGH to PVG is okay because they belong to the same region). So, add $140 for the visa cost over a ten-year period.

$577 for SIN and SGN mini-vacations!
For short vacations in two cities (Singapore and Saigon) from IAD, it is a good deal for $577 (more than 21K PQM or 2.66 cpm). The example is for the days around the Labor's Day weekend. You can find similar deals on different sets of dates using ITA, but I try to avoid JetStar using Google flight search (get Vietname Airlines flights, instead) after the ITA search. Good luck.

China Open Jaw strip from BWI for less than $400
China Open Jaw trip from BWI for less than $400. This trip requires a Chinese visa (cost of $140 for 10 years). There are other dates available in the Fall with identical routing. It is slightly more expensive if you return from CTU (Chengdu) or PEK (Beijing). The positioning flight (XIY-PVG) can be had for 8000 miles on Air China.
